RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/043,650, filed Jun. 24, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

Provided herein are compounds, compositions comprising an effective amount of such compounds, and methods for treating or preventing androgen receptor mediated diseases, comprising administering an effective amount of such compounds to a subject in need thereof. Also provided herein are the compounds and compositions for use in these methods.

BACKGROUND

Androgen receptor signaling is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and is involved in the development of other androgen receptor positive cancers (Chen Y et al., Lancet Oncol, 2009, 10:981-91; Mills I G, Nat Rev Cancer, 2014, 14:187-98; Taplin M E, Nat Clin Pract Oncol, 2007, 4:236-44; Wirth M P et al., Eur Urol, 2007, 51(2):306-13). The inhibition of androgen receptor signaling with anti-androgens that antagonize the androgen receptor has been used or proposed for the treatment of prostate cancer.

The androgen receptor normally resides in the cytoplasm bound to chaperones such as HSP90 (Brinkmann A O et al., J Steroid Biochem Mot Blol, 1999, 69:307-13). Upon binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) the androgen receptor changes its conformation and translocates to the nucleus, where it binds androgen responsive elements (AREs) driving the transcription of canonical targets such as KLK3 (also known as prostate specific antigen PSA), TMPRSS2 and KLK2 (Tran C et al., Science, 2009, 324:787-90; Murtha P et al., Biochemistry (Mosc.), 1993, 32:6459-64).

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed non-cutaneous cancers among men in the US and is the second most common cause of cancer deaths with more than 200,000 new cases and over 30,000 deaths each year in the United States.

Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard of treatment for advanced PCa. Patients with advanced PCa undergo ADT, either by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, LHRH antagonists or by bilateral orchiectomy. Despite initial response to ADT, disease progression is inevitable and the cancer emerges as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Up to 30% of patients with prostate cancer that undergo primary treatment by radiation or surgery will develop metastatic disease within 10 years of the primary treatment. Approximately 50,000 patients a year will develop metastatic disease, which is termed metastatic CRPC (mCRPC).

There remains a significant need for safe and effective methods of treating, preventing and managing AR mediated diseases, particularly for AR mediated diseases that are refractory to standard treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, while reducing or avoiding the toxicities and/or side effects associated with conventional therapies.

Citation or identification of any reference in this section of this application is not to be construed as an admission that the reference is prior art to the present application.

METHODS FOR MAKING PIPERIDINE DIONE COMPOUNDS

The compounds described herein can be made using conventional organic syntheses and commercially available starting materials, or the methods provided herein. By way of example and not limitation, compounds of formula I, wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R^(B), R^(C), L, V, X, m, a and b are as defined herein, can be prepared as outlined in the schemes shown below, as well as in the examples set forth herein. It should be noted that one skilled in the art would know how to modify the procedures set forth in the illustrative schemes and examples to arrive at the desired products.

As shown in Scheme 1, compounds of formula (I), wherein X is N or CR^(X). L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH can be prepared starting by reacting the piperidine derivative a with ester intermediate b (where LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate, and alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu) in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile) at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 100° C.) to provide intermediate c. In some cases, an iodide salt is used to facilitate this transformation (such as sodium iodide or potassium iodide). Removal of the ester protecting group from intermediate c (for example when alk=Me, Et or other alkyl, by treatment with a hydroxide base in a solvent, for example LiOH in THF and water, or when alk=tert-butyl, by treatment with an acid in a solvent such as trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane or hydrochloric acid in 1,4-dioxane), provides intermediate d. Coupling of intermediate d with a piperidine dione intermediate e in the presence of a coupling agent (for example HATU, HBTU, or EDC or TCFH, optionally in combination with HOBt), and a base (for example N,N-diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine, or N-methylimidazole), in a solvent, for example, DCM, DMF, NMP or mixtures thereof) at a temperature between 0° C. to about 70° C. provides compounds of formula (I), wherein X is N or CR^(X), L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH. Alternatively, intermediate c wherein X is N and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, can be prepared starting by reacting the derivative V-L-LG (LG is an appropriate leaving group such as Cl, Br, I, triflate or alkyl sulfonate) with an appropriately derivatized piperidyl ester derivative f (for example, wherein alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu) in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile), at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 80° C.) to provide intermediate c. Which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) wherein X is N and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH.

Compounds of formula (I) wherein X is N and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, can also be prepared according to an alternative sequence shown in Scheme 2 by reacting the derivative V-L-LG (LG is an appropriate leaving group such as Cl, Br, I, triflate or alkyl sulfonate) with an appropriately derivatized intermediate g in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile) at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 100° C.). In some cases, an iodide salt is used to facilitate this transformation (such as sodium iodide or potassium iodide). Alternatively, compounds of formula (I) wherein X is N or CR^(X) and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH can be prepared starting by reacting compound e with an appropriately functionalized carbonyl intermediate h (where LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DCM, or triethylamine in pyridine) at a temperature between 0° C. to about 60° C. to provide intermediate i. Reacting i (where LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) with amine intermediate a in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile), at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 80° C.) provides compound of formula (I) wherein X is N or CR^(X) and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH.

Intermediates such as amine g, wherein L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH, can be prepared according to Scheme 3. Starting by reacting an appropriately functionalized piperazine j with ester intermediate b (where LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate, and alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu) in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile) at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 100° C.) to provide intermediate k. In some cases, an iodide salt is used to facilitate this transformation (such as sodium iodide or potassium iodide). Removal of the ester protecting group from intermediate k (for example when alk=Me, Et or other alkyl, by treatment with a hydroxide base in a solvent, for example LiOH in THF and water, or when alk=tert-butyl, by treatment with an acid in a solvent such as trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane or hydrochloric acid in 1,4-dioxane), provides intermediate 1. Coupling of intermediate 1 with a piperidine dione intermediate e in the presence of a coupling agent (for example HATU, HBTU, or EDC or TCFH, optionally in combination with HOBt), and a base (for example N,N-diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine, or N-methylimidazole), in a solvent, for example, DCM, DMF, NMP or mixtures thereof) at a temperature between 0° C. to about 70° C. provides amine intermediate g, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) wherein L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-, —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—, or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, A is CO, and A′ is NH. Intermediates such as amine f can be prepared by removal of the N-protecting group P^(N) from intermediate k, (for example, when P^(N) is Boc, by treatment with an acid in a solvent, for example, HCl in dioxane or EtOAc, at room temperature, or with TFA in DCM, at room temperature or when P^(N) is Bn or Cbz by hydrogenation with a metal catalyst, in a solvent such as palladium on carbon in methanol).

Intermediates such as a wherein X is N and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)- can be prepared according to Scheme 4. Treating V-L-LG (where L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)- and LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) with amine n in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine in DMF, or K₂CO₃ in acetonitrile) at elevated temperature (for example, between about 40° C. and about 100° C.) to provide intermediate o. In some cases, an iodide salt is used to facilitate this transformation (such as sodium iodide or potassium iodide). Removal of the N-protecting group P^(N) from intermediate o, (for example, when P^(N) is Boc, by treatment with an acid in a solvent, for example, HCl in dioxane or EtOAc, at room temperature, or with TFA in DCM, at room temperature or when P^(N) is Bn or Cbz by hydrogenation with a metal catalyst, in a solvent such as palladium on carbon in methanol) provides intermediate a wherein X is N and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-.

Intermediates such as V-L-R^(Z) (for example, intermediate r) where R^(Z) is an alcohol, protected alcohol, leaving group or heterocycle (such as a substituted piperidine or piperazine) can be prepared according to Scheme 5. Treatment of ester intermediate p (where alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu) with an appropriately derivatized 4-isothiocyanatobenzonitrile or 5-isothiocyanatopicolinonitrile q, in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, in a solvent, such as EtOAc, at elevated temperature, for example, between about 70° C. and about 90° C. provides intermediate r. Intermediates such as u wherein LG is a leaving group (such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate), and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)- can be prepared from intermediate s (where P° is an alcohol protecting group such as THP, TBS, acetate or benzyl). Removal of the protecting group P° (for example, when P° is THP by treatment with catalytic acid in a solvent, for example HCl in dioxane) in s provides alcohol intermediate t. Activation of the alcohol functional group in t to a leaving group (for example when LG is Br by treatment of t with thionyl bromide in dichloromethane) provides intermediate u wherein LG is a leaving group (such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate), and L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- or —(C₁₋₄ alkyl)-, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I).

Intermediates p, wherein L is —O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- and R^(Z) is a protected alcohol OP^(O) (for example a THP ether or TBS ether), for example aa, can be prepared according to Scheme 6. Starting from alcohol intermediate v (where P^(N) is an amine protecting group such as Bn or Boc), reacting with electrophile w (where LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate, and P° is an oxygen protecting group such as THP or TBS) in the presence of a base, optionally with a catalyst, in a solvent (for example KOH and tetrabutylammonium bromide in xylene) at elevated temperature, for example between 70° C. and 130° C. provides intermediate x. Removal of the protecting group P^(N) in x (for example, when P^(N) is Bn by hydrogenation with palladium on carbon in methanol, or when P^(N) is Boc by treatment with HCL in dioxane) provides amine intermediate y. Reacting amine y with ester z (where alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu, and LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) in the presence of a base, possibly with an iodide salt, in a solvent (for example, potassium carbonate and potassium iodide in acetonitrile), at an elevated temperature (for example between about 70° C. and 130° C.) provides intermediate aa, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) where in L=—O(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-.

Intermediates p, wherein L is —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)- and R^(Z) is an alcohol or a protected alcohol (for example a THP ether or TBS ether), for example hh, can be prepared according to Scheme 6. Starting from aldehyde intermediate bb (where P^(N) is an amine protecting group such as Bn or Boc), reacting with an olefination reagent, in the presence of a base, in a solvent (for example, ethyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetate and sodium hydride in THF) at a temperature between 0° C. and 60° C. provides olefin intermediate cc. Reduction of cc by hydrogenation, in the presence of a catalyst, in a solvent (for example, palladium on carbon in methanol under a hydrogen atmosphere), at elevated pressure (for example between 10 and 100 psi) provides intermediate dd. Reduction of the ester functional group can be accomplished by treatment with a reducing agent, in a solvent (for example, diisobutylaluminum hydride in DCM) at a temperature between −78° C. and 25° C. provides intermediate ee, wherein R^(Y) is H. Alternatively, intermediate ee can be prepared by treatment of intermediate cc with a reducing agent, in a solvent (for example, diisobutylaluminum hydride in DCM) at a temperature between −78° C. and 25° C. to provide intermediate ff. Hydrogenation of ff, in the presence of a catalyst, in a solvent (for example, palladium on carbon, in methanol, under a hydrogen atmosphere), at elevated pressure (for example between 10 and 100 psi) provides intermediate ee. Removal of the protecting group P^(N) in ee (for example, when P^(N) is Bn, by hydrogenation with palladium on carbon in methanol, or when P^(N) is Boc by treatment with HCL in dioxane) provides amine intermediate gg. Reacting amine gg with ester z (where alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu, and LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) in the presence of a base, optionally with an iodide salt, in a solvent (for example, potassium carbonate and potassium iodide in acetonitrile), at an elevated temperature (for example between about 70° C. and 130° C.) provides intermediate hh, where R^(Y) is H or an alcohol protecting group (for example THP, TBS or Tr) which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) where in L —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)-.

Intermediates p wherein L is —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O— and R^(Z) is a heterocycle or cycloalkyl group, for example mm, can be prepared according to Scheme 8.

Reacting amine ll with ester z (where alk is an alkyl group such as Me, Et, Bn, or tert-Bu, and LG is a leaving group such as Cl, Br, I triflate or alkyl sulfonate) in the presence of a base, optionally with an iodide salt, in a solvent (for example, potassium carbonate and potassium iodide in acetonitrile), at an elevated temperature (for example between about 70° C. and 130° C.) provides intermediate mm, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) wherein L is —(C₁₋₃ alkyl)O—.

Cyclization of aaa (by treatment with strong acid such as concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid) followed reduction of the nitro group (for example, by treatment with a reducing agent, for example H₂, in the presence of a catalyst, such as Pd/C, in a solvent, such as EtOH or MeOH; or Fe and NH₄Cl, in a solvent such as EtOH and H₂O), provides intermediate e, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I) wherein A is CO, and A′ is NH.

Amine intermediates g, wherein A is CH₂ and A′ is NH can be prepared according to Scheme 12. Reduction of the nitro group in intermediate zz by treatment with a reducing agent (for example, H₂, in the presence of a catalyst, such as Pd/C, in a solvent, such as EtOH or MeOH; or Fe and NH₄C₁, in a solvent such as EtOH and H₂O) provides intermediate bbb. Coupling bbb with an appropriately derived piperazine intermediate ccc, wherein P^(N) is an amine protecting group (for example, Bn or Cbz), A is CH₂ and R^(Y) is a leaving group (for example, Cl, Br, I, OTf or OMs), in the presence of a base, possibly with an iodide salt, in a solvent (for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine and sodium iodide in acetonitrile) at an elevated temperature (for example, between 50° C. to about 120° C.) provides intermediate ddd. Cyclization of intermediate ddd to intermediate eee can be accomplished by treatment with a strong acid (for example, concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid), and subsequent removal of the P^(N) protecting group (for example, when P^(N) is Cbz, by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst, in a solvent, for example palladium on carbon in ethyl acetate) provides intermediate g, which can be further reacted to provide compounds of formula (I), wherein wherein A is CH₂ and A′ is NH.

Intermediates ccc, wherein R^(Y) is an alcohol or protected alcohol, can be converted to intermediates ccc, wherein R^(Y) is a leaving group (for example, Cl, Br, I, OTf or OMs), by treatment under alcohol activation conditions (for example, formation of ccc wherein R^(Y) is Br can be accomplished by treatment under bromination conditions, for example, thionly bromide in dichloromethane and DMF; or when R^(Y) is OTf, by treatment under triflation conditions, for example, by treating with triflic anhydride in dichloromethane).

Intermediates such as ddd, wherein P^(N) is an amine protecting group (for example, Boc, Cbz, or Bn), A is CH₂, and A′ is 0, can be prepared according to Scheme 14. Coupling of indazole ggg with electrophile ccc, wherein P^(N) is an amine protecting group (for example, Boc, Cbz, or Bn), A is CH₂, and R^(Y) is a leaving group (for example Cl, Br, I, OTf or OMs), in the presence of a base, optionally with an iodide salt, in a solvent (for example, potassium carbonate in MeCN; or, N,N-diisopropylethylamine and sodium iodide in DMF) to give intermediate hhh. Coupling hhh with methyl acrylate, in the presence of a catalyst, in a solvent (for example, aluminum oxide in methyl acrylate) provides intermediate iii, which can be reacted with an isocyanate salt (for example, sodium isocyanate of potassium isocyanate) in a solvent (for example, potassium iscyanate in acetic acid) to give intermediate ddd, wherein A′ is O.

Compositions can be formulated to contain a daily dose, or a convenient fraction of a daily dose, in a dosage unit, which may be a single tablet or capsule or convenient volume of a liquid. In one embodiment, the solutions are prepared from water-soluble salts, such as the hydrochloride salt. In general, all of the compositions are prepared according to known methods in pharmaceutical chemistry. Capsules can be prepared by mixing a compound with a suitable carrier or diluent and filling the proper amount of the mixture in capsules. The usual carriers and diluents include, but are not limited to, inert powdered substances such as starch of many different kinds, powdered cellulose, especially crystalline and microcrystalline cellulose, sugars such as fructose, mannitol and sucrose, grain flours and similar edible powders.

Tablets can be prepared by direct compression, by wet granulation, or by dry granulation. Their formulations usually incorporate diluents, binders, lubricants and disintegrators as well as the compound. Typical diluents include, for example, various types of starch, lactose, mannitol, kaolin, calcium phosphate or sulfate, inorganic salts such as sodium chloride and powdered sugar. Powdered cellulose derivatives are also useful. Typical tablet binders are substances such as starch, gelatin and sugars such as lactose, fructose, glucose and the like. Natural and synthetic gums are also convenient, including acacia, alginates, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine and the like. Polyethylene glycol, ethylcellulose and waxes can also serve as binders.

A lubricant might be necessary in a tablet formulation to prevent the tablet and punches from sticking in the dye. The lubricant can be chosen from such slippery solids as talc, magnesium and calcium stearate, stearic acid and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Tablet disintegrators are substances that swell when wetted to break up the tablet and release the compound. They include starches, clays, celluloses, algins and gums. More particularly, corn and potato starches, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, wood cellulose, powdered natural sponge, cation-exchange resins, alginic acid, guar gum, citrus pulp and carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, can be used as well as sodium lauryl sulfate. Tablets can be coated with sugar as a flavor and sealant, or with film-forming protecting agents to modify the dissolution properties of the tablet. The compositions can also be formulated as chewable tablets, for example, by using substances such as mannitol in the formulation.

When it is desired to administer a compound as a suppository, typical bases can be used. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, which can be modified by addition of waxes to raise its melting point slightly. Water-miscible suppository bases comprising, particularly, polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights are in wide use.

The effect of the compound can be delayed or prolonged by proper formulation. For example, a slowly soluble pellet of the compound can be prepared and incorporated in a tablet or capsule, or as a slow-release implantable device. The technique also includes making pellets of several different dissolution rates and filling capsules with a mixture of the pellets. Tablets or capsules can be coated with a film that resists dissolution for a predictable period of time. Even the parenteral preparations can be made long-acting, by dissolving or suspending the compound in oily or emulsified vehicles that allow it to disperse slowly in the serum.
